Hi, I’m in California right now and I want to extend my deepest condolances to you and the family. Many good thoughts go through my mind that I have experiences with you and ones that Uncle Bud has told me. If I can possibly make the service, see you then, if not, may God comfort you in this time of sorrow. (he and uncle can chat up there!!!!), Love, Aunt Mildred
